LAUNCH PICS FROM THE GUTTER

The launch went wonderfully well on Tuesday night - I am only now back at my desk. Huge thanks to Bob and the team at The Gutter Book Shop, all at New Island Books, Gráinne Killeeen of Killeen PR, Sinéad Gleeson for the blush-inducing intro and to Karen O'Neill for the photos. It was a great night, jammed with family, friends, writer-friends and a dog, who yelped right on cue when I said we would be adjourning to the Parlour Bar in The Stag's Head after the launch. Whisky and wine were drank, Kendal Mint Cake and shortbread were eaten, chats were had. A lovely evening. Here are some pics.

Flowers & a card from hubby - aw!

Me with my posing smile and the book

Scotch - I had fun collecting the shot glasses in charity shops here and in Scotland, and on ebay & my beloved Etsy

Kendal Mint Cake features in the novel, as does the paperweight this bar is propped against

I'm SO raging I had to miss this!! Looks like there was a great crowd. You look stunning in every shot, forever youthful :) Finally I get to see the Kendal Mint Cake, I still long for a taste of it though. Where did Claire get it?I started the book last night, jeeze that Verity is a right self absorbed bitch! I won't get back to it until tonight but looking forward to it already x

Raging you missed it too, Úna. Get well soon!I have some Kendal's. I will give it to you Friday or Sunday. I left my Peter P book in Miller so need to retrieve it. I can leave the Kendal's there for you, if you are busy. N x
